Thai Quinoa Bowl: The Remake

Hello. My name is Kaylie and I haven’t blogged in two years, one month, and six days. Now that’s embarrassing.

But what I have done is eaten (duh). And thought about this blog child of mine. When I ate something really delicious, I thought ‘Ooh I should blog this.’ Then a year passed and then another and here we are. A lot has happened (read: new city, new house, new job, new baby) but more on that later.

The other really embarrassing this is that the only recipe we make from this blog is the Thai Quinoa Bowl. It. Is. Amazing. We eat it at least twice a month. We’ve adapted it over time, especially now that I eat seafood.

So I am saying HELLO ol’ friends, it’s been a while. I will post a life update soon but I thought I’d dip my toe into the blogging waters and start with our favorite recipe.
